Malzahn took the SEC Network’s Maria Taylor for a spin in his new car and allowed her to drive the car around the block as well.

Malzahn and Taylor made sure to tie the fast car, which Malzahn says reaches 160 mph, to Auburn’s “#AuburnFast” campaign.

“We like everything fast. There’s no doubt,” Malzahn said. “So this kind of complemented that. I’m not a big fast driver, but I like a fast car.”

Malzahn has come a long way since his days coaching in Hughes, Arkansas. His little red car was as noticeable as it was out of date in the early 1990s. Twenty years later, the former high school coach is driving fast and calling the shots in the SEC — with his BMW providing some help on the recruiting trail.
